It was made in memory of employees of Rowntree's who passed on in World War I, also, was opened in July 1921 by nearby business person and philanthropist Joseph Rowntree. The gates at the riverbank entrance are eighteenth-century and were given by the organization as a remembrance to the general population of York who kicked the bucket in World War II. Rowntree Park praised its 85th anniversary on 16 July 2006
with an open day.
In 2006 the park won a Green Flag Award. This is granted for coming to the English and Welsh national standard for parks and green spaces.
The park experienced some energizing changes over winter 2014/15. The warehouse that lined one side of the site was demolished was changed over into pitches, while the riverside attach was closed. The recently created range contains 16 new hardstanding pitches which are a blend of canopy and non-overhang, and
the site also offers 5 pitches for exploring tent campers. There is also a new die hard loyalty point for this range and TV booster system added to the bollards. The improvement work this winter means that all visitors will now be together on one site.
